Junichi Tanaka. Legacy lives on. The purpose of this build was for him to see that his work inspired many. R.I.P to a legend. #junautomechanic#junauto Big big big mahalos to my brotha Corey @sparkksracing 🤙🏼 🙏🏼Came through with 👁🍬For now it’ll stay in the box. 😁

Jun’s breadth and variety of experience was rivaled only by the biggest companies in tuning. And at the height of the boom, the parts they bestowed unto the tuner world were considered top notch, everything from exhausts to engine internals to entire crate motors. --japanesenostalgiccar.com
RIP Junichi Tanaka, you'll be sorely missed.

Super sad to hear that Junichi Tanaka, founder of the iconic tuning house JUN Auto Mechanic, passed away recently due to cancer. You may have passed but your legacy and passion for motorsports will forever live on. Rest in peace Tanaka San. 🙏🏼 #JunichiTanaka#JUNautomechanic#TAS2017#38SpeedJapan

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Junichi Tanaka, the genius engineer behind “JUN Auto” performance parts supplier for high performance JDM machines most notably the Nissan RB26 power plant.
Mr Tanaka was the man responsible for the engine internals of the now legendary “GTR700” drag car, which ran a record time of [email protected] back in 2004 with a mere 1000hp.
Respectfully “JUN II” the Worlds Fastest & Quickest Nissan Skyline GTR was named after Mr Tanaka and we at CRD dedicate the [email protected] World Record set yesterday in honour of the great man, Junichi-san.
Following a short battle with cancer, Mr Tanaka passed away at the age of 76.
Thank you for everything Junichi-san 🙏🏽 RIP - JUNICHI TANAKA
1943 - 2019

i'm very sad to hear that Junichi Tanaka ( President of Jun Auto Japan) has passed away.
We know each other since 2003 . I won lots of races and i became national champion twice with his full support.
Besides his great knowledge about performance parts and mechanics , he were very kind for us all time and we shared very good moments together. i'm honoured to have chance to meet with his beautifull family during our Tokyo visits .
Thank you very much for everything Legend Junichi-san
Rest in peace Junichi Tanaka 1943-2019
I'm very sorry for your loss. My deep condolences.

Seems my JUN posting yesterday had some sad foresight, with the news that JUN founder and owner of Tanaka Industrial Co. Juninchi Tanaka has died at the age of 76. If you’ve followed Japanese tuning since the early 90s like myself then you can’t fail to have been affected by at least one of Jun Auto Mechanic creations. RIP #junauto#junautomechanic#junichitanaka
